Added DiffLines:

** ''Discworld/TheLastContinent'' sees Death ask for a list of dangerous creature of Fourecks, and receives a book titled ''Dangerous Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Jellyfish, Insects, Spiders, Crustaceans, Grasses, Trees, Mosses and Lichens of Terror Incognita''. Or rather, is buried in the many volumes comprising the work, which extends at least as far as Volume 29c Part 3. When he asks for a list of creatures that aren't dangerous he receives a sheet of paper reading "some of the sheep".

* John Hodgeman promoted his book with a list of 500 plausible hobo names, recited for 54 minutes in total. Notable names included "Boxcar AldousHuxley", and "DoraTheExplorer". Best yet, this list was recited * live* at a college, with JonathanCoulton (who also appears as a hobo name) strumming a guitar in accompaniment of the entirety of the list.

* LordPeterWimsey runs through a list of things he's figured out about the case in ''The Nine Tailors''. It consists of every pertinent bit of information except [[spoiler:the identity of the murderer, and how he committed the murder.]]

* In "Blood Pact", the most recent GauntsGhosts novel, one of the blood pact members has taken a vow to say all the names of death. He's been saying them for years. [[spoiler: He never gets to finish, because one of the last names on the list is the person who kills him.]]

* ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', and ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' have three examples of Long ListOfTransgressions (including [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking innocuous ones]], of course). ''Pirates'' stands out because only the 'most egerious' crimes were read aloud; the full list is much longer.

** In "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge", Homer lists off all the jobs he's had up to that point in the series. Marge manages to go the bathroom and put her hair in rollers while he's reciting his list. Apparently, Creator/DanCastellaneta managed that entire list, from memory, in one single take.-->'''Homer:''' You know, I've had a lot of jobs. Boxer, mascot, astronaut, imitation Krusty, baby proofer, trucker, hippie, plow driver, food critic, conceptual artist, grease salesman, carnie, mayor, grifter, bodyguard for the mayor, garbage commissioner, mountain climber, farmer, inventor, Smithers, Poochie, celebrity assistant, power plant worker, fortune cookie writer, beer baron, Kwik-E Mart clerk, homophobe and missionary. But protecting Springfield, that gives me the best feeling of all.** Moe evidently has an 'enemies list'. Since he's a {{Jerkass}} with a HairTriggerTemper, it's rather voluminous. Turns out it's actually UsefulNotes/RichardNixon's list -- he just crossed out Nixon's name and put in his own. (When Barney [[LampshadeHanging points this out]], Moe angrily snatches the list back and adds his name to it.)
